About

The Bilingual Officiant is an ordained wedding minister based in Dallas, Texas. Owner and chief celebrant Ignacio is a passionate Christian who brings over ten years of industry experience to the table. He loves nothing more than to help couples curate memorable and heartfelt wedding ceremonies they can cherish for years to come.

Services Offered

Ignacio offers a range of services to help make your big day even more special. He begins the process by requesting that you reach out via his online booking system and will follow up with a complimentary consultation. When you select one of The Bilingual Officiant's wedding packages, a comprehensive pre-marital guidance counseling course is included at no extra charge. This certified PREPARE-ENRICH facilitator encourages couples to compose their own heartfelt vows, which he can seamlessly blend into the ceremony in both English and Spanish. His ceremonies are usually 30 minutes or less in duration, but he is more than happy to customize his services to best suit your needs. In addition, Ignacio can facilitate events such as religious and non-religious ceremonies, civil unions, and vow renewals.

Exceeded our expectations

Ignacio absolutely exceeded our expectations. From the start he was so professional, quick with his response time, helped us so much along the way and on the day of the wedding he made it run so beautifully and smooth. Ignacio offered us so much more than just officiating our wedding. He was by far the best vendor we had. Everyone at our wedding told us how beautiful our ceremony had been and how much they loved our officiant. Can't thank you enough Ignacio!

Best bilingual officiant

Ignacio was an amazing officiant and really helped us prepare for marriage with pre-marital counseling. We looked forward to every session with him. His bi-lingual speech was beautiful at our wedding and he was super flexible with everything. We would love to keep in touch for any future needs. Thanks Ignacio!

Victor & Alejandra

Glad to have had the opportunity to have Ignacio as our officiant for our special day. Very professional, organized, and very kind.
He definitely meets your needs and let’s you decide exactly how you want your ceremony. Any changes he gladly makes. Always there to answer any questions you may have. We were super nervous, thanks to Ignacio for the guidance. It was a beautiful ceremony. My family complemented and loved our ceremony!

Wedding 10/22

Ignacio made us feel at ease every moment of our planning. He assured us everything would come out great in which it did. His ceremony speech was awesome and my wife and I are truly grateful for having found him. He took the time to even speak to some of our guest! To top it off.. our families are Spanish speaking and Ignacio made the whole speech in Spanish to perfection! Thank you once again Ignacio. From Mr. And Mrs. Portillo.
